A RELEASE DATE DARKLY

A Scanner Darkly could be a very cool film, and is almost certainly
exactly what Richard Linklater needs post-Bad News Bears. The only
problem with the movie is that it seems like it's never coming out.
The release date keeps getting pushed back further and further - now
the film is scheduled to hit July 7th, almost a solid year after I
saw some great footage (and "interviewed" the Philip K Dick android)
at San Diego ComiCon.

That opens the film directly against Pirates of the Caribbean 2, but
I get the feeling that the target audience ain't quite the same. I
don't really know who the audience for this animated take on a Dick
tale is, but I do hope that they come out to the theaters in droves,
because no matter if this film is great or a misfire, A Scanner
Darkly is exactly the kind of movie all of us movie geeks should be
supporting with our money.
